From First Condo to Cashflow: Jessie’s Real Estate Story

What if your journey to financial freedom began with a Craigslist roommate and a condo covered in shag carpet?

 

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jessie Lang, a woman who accidentally found her way into real estate and went on to build a thriving investment business. Jessie didn’t come from wealth and didn’t have a roadmap. But she took one intentional step at a time, starting with renting out a spare room, and that small move sparked everything.

 

We talk about how she walked away from her W-2 job with no backup plan, built a portfolio of 75 rental doors, and now empowers others to build wealth through real estate. Jessie’s story is honest, inspiring, and a powerful reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. You just need to take that first step.

ICYMI: Money Tales: Money’s Everywhere with Dr. Felecia Froe

In this ICYMI conversation, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Sandi Bragar and Cammie Doder on the Money Tales podcast to trace the money narrative that shaped her from childhood all the way to founding Money With Mission. She opens up about watching her mother stay in a domestic violence relationship for financial reasons, the credit card mistakes she made in medical school, and how she used the CASHFLOW 101 game to teach her own daughters about money years before most parents even start the conversation. Felecia also walks through the deal that changed everything: a patient named Jamie who challenged her to buy her first real estate property and removed all the risk in doing so.

Foundations #10: You’re Not Bad with Money

You’re not bad with money. In this Foundations episode, Dr. Felecia Froe speaks directly to every woman carrying the belief that she’s somehow failed at money, whether she’s avoided her finances for years, watched a high income never translate into confidence, or is still making sense of a setback that shook her trust in herself. Felecia reframes the whole story: what looks like carelessness is actually overwhelm, what looks like incapability is actually a lack of preparation, and what looks like personal failure is actually a systemic failure.

Felecia Froe became a urologic surgeon after succeeding in medical school and urology residency. Somehow she knew this wasn’t the last thing she would ever do. Her mind as rewired about the idea of money after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kyosaki. In this ICYMI conversation with Mary Katherine Johnson of Planet Wealth, Felecia traces her path buying 18 properties in two years, losing nearly everything in the 2008 crash, and rebuilding into a social impact investor who’s now running sober living homes and fighting food deserts. She gets honest about the fear that doesn’t fully go away, even after decades of deals, the mindset shift from working for money to making money work for you, and why she believes no woman should ever feel financially stuck in a job or relationship.
